A stunningly beautiful hike in Bryce Canyon. The Navajo Peekaboo Loop is a popular and challenging hike in Bryce Canyon National Park, connecting two of the most famous trails in the Bryce Amphitheater. Impressive, narrow switchbacks lead steeply down into the canyon and past rock formations with imaginative names like Thor's Hammer and Wall Street.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado is one of the most famous and highest national parks in the USA. Longs Peak is the highest point at 4,345 meters. The landscape is characterized by mountain forests with aspens, pines, and expansive meadows, where elk are common. Dense coniferous forests and mountain lakes, as well as rugged, treeless plateaus with only low-growing plants, bighorn sheep, and marmots can also be found. A highlight is the Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuously paved mountain pass in North America, leading through the alpine tundra. The most popular hiking area, with its numerous lakes, is the Bear Lake Corridor. The park is open year-round, although many roads and trails are closed during the winter months due to snow or are only accessible with appropriate equipment. Due to its immense popularity, time-slot reservations are often required for access during peak season.

Beautiful, quiet lake with a great view.

It is located at the end of the scenic Bear Lake Road, one of the most popular areas of Rocky Mountain National Park. It lies at an elevation of approximately 2,880 meters (9,450 feet), surrounded by forest, offering impressive views of the majestic peaks of Hallett Peak. A very easy, paved Nature Trail (loop) leads around the lake in just about 0.6 miles (about 1 km).

The narrow lake is picturesquely situated at the foot of the majestic Hallett Peak and is known for its reflective water surfaces, which reflect the surrounding steep cliffs and peaks. It lies at an elevation of approximately 3,019 meters (9,905 feet).

The Wolfe Ranch in Arches National Park is a historic settlement site and the starting point for the hike to the famous Delicate Arch. A simple log cabin (built in 1906) and other remnants (such as a cellar and a pen) of a small ranch founded by Civil War veteran John Wesley Wolfe in the late 19th century. Located on Salt Wash, northeast of present-day Moab, where Wolfe and his family attempted to raise cattle and farm in isolation, the ranch remains serve as a historical attraction and a parking area and trailhead for the popular Delicate Arch hiking trail and a short trail to petroglyphs (rock carvings). It offers a glimpse into the harsh pioneer life in arid Utah.

It is reached via a strenuous but popular hiking trail (approximately 4.8 km round trip, with climbs and sections over slickrock) from the Wolfe Ranch parking lot. There is also an easier viewpoint further away. The arch is especially popular at sunset and sunrise, when the light highlights the red rocks.
